Kent officiated our wedding in January 2022 and did a wonderful job! We were so grateful to find…read moresomeone a month before the wedding and someone who was very easy to work with. We went through the whole ceremony, picked what vows we wanted, and the pricing was great. For a simple ceremony it was just what we needed.

We had amazing pre-marital counseling that has stirred in me a passion to come alongside couples in this fun, exciting, and often stressful time of life. My bride, Danielle, and I have three beautiful girls and call Bakersfield, Ca home for the past five years. My goal is to make a memorable and fun ceremony for the couple. My ceremonies focus is on what the bible has to say about marriage for the couple and their attendants. I do not believe everyone has come to hear me talk so I keep my part short. I believe the wedding ceremony should represent the couples personality. I am flexible on the order and time.

We are Catholics, vows go to god not to the person. The lady was too busy buying shoes online ..literally the whole time talking to her she was buying high heels on her computer. In our wedding day, at the end she says "do you guys want to say any vows" we both said no that it's okay, and she persist saying "anything at all" in a way making it uncomfortable and not love as in we didn't have any vows and just wing it. That really annoyed as but we didn't want to ruin our day. She reminded us we only had a couple of minutes and that she had another couple waiting .. what the.. we just end up going to the front paid her what was needed and got out of there. I do not recommend this place.

An officiant will obviously play a pivotal role in your wedding, presiding over the ceremony, contributing his/her own words and dictating the tempo. Therefore, it is sensible to pick someone who is well regarded and has experience. In chatting with Paul, he mentioned that he has officiated over 70 weddings this year ~ so clearly he is well trusted and practiced. Needless to say, I was impressed with Paul's demeanor and his prowess for managing such an important event; it's not easy but Paul makes it look that way.

We booked Reverend Haywood early in 2015 for a wedding in mid-May. At the time, we decided to pay…read morein full and take care of the fee ($300), instead of just the deposit ($100). We informed Mr. Haywood in April that we decided not to use his services and required the difference of $200 be returned. Mr. Haywood declined to return the money, and when I asked to review the contract we signed with him (of which we did not receive a copy), he said, "I have no such paperwork"; effectively lying about the contract so he could keep the $200. We learned a valuable lesson from Haywood. NEVER pay in full, and ALWAYS get the contract. Not only did he run away with our money, but he lied about the contract. Bad business practices. Not to mention he performed as an officiant for my sister in-law (Katie) and forgot her name during the ceremony and called her Kathy. Do not recommend.
